If you happen to run into Gavin Newsom persuade him to gowith you to your friendly neighborhood 7-Eleven and buy him a politicallyincorrect Super Big Gulp.
Fill it with Coca-Cola. Its a poison as defined byMichael Bloomberg who wants you to vote for him as Nanny in Chief on March 3 inthe California primary that more people chose than lets say Sprite andOrange Crush. With a little luck the Coca-Cola will run out of syrup just as hefinishes filling the cup.
Make sure that you grab a politically incorrect plasticstraw as well, although a paper straw will do.
Now look toward the Delta. Ask the governor to put the strawinto his Super Bug Gulp and take a swig or two. Once hes got the soda downabout an inch or two ask Newsom to top it off. Since the Coca-Cola is maxedout, hell have to select another source to fill the cup back up.
As any self-respecting pre-teen of days gone-by would know,Newsom is taking the first step toward making a soda concoction thats called asuicide.
You have just given the governor a perfect analogy for hismyopic Delta tunnel plan as well as coined a rallying cry for the nextgeneration of victims of the incredible thirst of the Los Angeles Basin as wellas large corporate farmers that are a large source of the late Assembly SpeakerBig Daddy Jesse Unruhs mothers milk of politics political campaigncontributions.
If you siphon Sacramento River water from the Delta it willcreate a void that has to be filled from somewhere else unless you want severesaltwater intrusion that would turn the Delta into a toxic wasteland for birds,native fish, flora, and even inconsequential things. Those inconsequentialthings are farmers and people that depend on Delta water or water pumped fromaquifers in and around the Delta that would be impacted as salt water replacesfresh water.
Lets return to the 7-Eleven for a second. Most offer othersoda flavors such as Mt. Dew, Sprite or Dr. Pepper. There are usually twoCoca-Cola options due to the larger volume that also requires more tanks ofsyrup as opposed to the other flavors that have less demand and therefore lesssyrup.
The Sacramento River is Coca-Cola. The Stanislaus, Tuolumne,and Merced rivers are the other three soda flavors. Once the Pepsi is siphonedout of the cup that is used to flush the Delta, some soda has to replace it.Thats when the state will create a suicide mix increasing the water flowsfrom the Stanislaus, Tuolumne and Merced watersheds to flush the Delta.
Of course, anyone living in the next Owens Valley betterknown as the Northern San Joaquin Valley would be committing suicide to favorsuch a move.
This is why big water interests in Los Angeles as well ascorporate farmers have managed to convince yet another governor that theNorthern San Joaquin Valley needs assistance to commit suicide which is wherethe myopic tunnel comes into play.
The Department of Water Resources this week officiallyrepackaged the double barrel shotgun aimed at the Delta ecological system aswell as Northern San Joaquin Valley cities and farms as a single barrel byissuing a notice of preparation for the project. Thats the prelude to thelengthy eye-popping environmental review process that is much like theimpeachment of Donald Trump as you already know how it is going to end. In thecase of the myopic tunnel we will be told it will be the best thing forCalifornia since gold was discovered. Thats an appropriate analogy given 172years later we are still dealing with environmental disasters perpetuated inthe name of growing the economy including filling in a third of the SanFrancisco Bay and reshaping and poisoning waterways.
As for two tunnels versus one tunnel, its just like a gun.It only takes one bullet or shot to kill a person. The same is true forsiphoning water and what it will do to the Delta.
One of the more interesting things about the PeripheralCanal 3.0 reboot rolled out this week is the reason why the state must sinkupwards of $20 billion in an investment that doesnt increase the amount ofwater delivered to Los Angeles or big corporate farms by one drop.
Originally we were told the twin tunnels were needed due tothe imminent collapse of levees in the next big quake that would reduce waterflow to the intake to the California Aqueduct pumping stations northwest ofTracy for six months or more forcing Beverly Hills mansion owners to converttheir expansive green estates into hues of yellow and brown.
Given the science was underwhelming, the lack of nearbymajor fault lines, and the historic impact of major Bay Area quakes such as the1906 and 1989 tremblors didnt give the theory much traction with the public,the had to hang the reboot on something else. And they did.
We are now being told its all to stop the horrors of climatechange as the current way fresh water is conveyed through the Delta from theSacramento watershed to hoses of people washing down sidewalks in Los Angelesis just 3 feet above sea level.
That means rising sea levels due to warmer temperatures willswamp the Delta with salt water making water that passes through it no longersuitable for drinking or applying to crops unless it first flowed through adesalination plant just before the water flows into the pipelines of Big L.A.
But if the real issue is now climate change which somemodels say will mean less snowpack with each passing year due to snow in theSierra being replaced extensively by rain, is the myopic tunnel the bestinvestment the state can make? A major reduction in natures reservoir theSierra snowpack that provides most of the above ground source of water inCalifornia will substantially reduce available water.
Toss in the fact a saltier Delta would be a disaster for theecological system that is home to nearly 750 species of plant and wildlifewouldnt a barrier system a modified dike to regulate flows to and from thebay address the most concerns?
The real reason for the myopic tunnel is to assure theimpacts of out-of-basin water users the west side of the southern San JoaquinValley and Los Angeles Basin have minimal loss of water supplies duringdroughts and/or meeting state-mandated or court-ordered fish flows.
In short, Los Angeles will actually get an even bigger gulpof water while the state replaces what they siphon off via a $20 billion strawthat takes water from cities and farms dependent upon the Stanislaus, Mercedand Tuolumne rivers.
